Epithelial Tissue

a sheet of cells that covers a body surface or lines a body cavity

Functions of simple columnar epithelium

absorption, secretion of mucus, enzymes and other substances.

Holocrine

accumulate products within then rupture.

Function of simple squamous epithelium

allows material to pass by diffusion and filtration in sites where protection isnt important; secrets lubricating substances in serosae.

Apical Surface

an upper free surface exposed to the body exterior or the cavity of an internal organ

With which portion of an epithelial cell in the stomach would food be in contact?

apical surface

cells farthest from basal layer of Stratified squamous epithelium

are less viable and depends on diffusion of nutrients from deeper connective tissue

Next to the basal surface of an epithelium is a thin supporting sheet called the

basal lamina

Endocrine Glands

because they usually lose their duct, they're called "ductless glands". through exocytosis, they secrete hormones that travel through lymph or blood to their specific target organs. each hormones prompts its target organs to respond in some characteristic way.

Connective Tissues composed of

bones, tendons, fat and other soft padding tissue

Cuboidal cells

boxlike and approximately as tall as they are wide nucleus round

Nervous Tissue composed of

brain, spinal cord, and nerves

Some epithelial tissues such as that lining the trachea(windpipe) have motile

cilia

Characteristics; Avascular but Innervated: Epithelial

contains no blood vessels (avascular) so it must be nourished by diffusion from blood vessels in the underlying connective tissues. supplied by nerve fibers (innervated)

Reticular Lamina

deep to basal lamina layer of extracellular material containing network of collagen protein fibers that belongs to the underlying connective tissues

Basal lamina acts as a selective filter that

determines which molecules diffusing from the underlying connective tissues are allowed to entered the epithelium.

Characteristics; Specialized Contacts: Epithelial

epithelial cells fit closely together to form continuous sheets. Lateral contacts including tight junctions and desmosomes bind adjacent cells together at many points.

Mesothelium

epithelium of serous membrane in the ventral body cavity

Stratified Squamous Epithelium forms the

external part of the skin . epidermis of the skin (outer layer) has keratin, a tough protective protein. the other stratified squamous epithelia of the body has no keratin.

Microvilli

fingerlike extensions of the plasma membrane.

Squamous cells

flattened and scale like nucleus flatened

Covering and Lining Epithelium

forms the outer layer of the skin. covers the walls and organs of the closed ventral body cavity.

Basal Lamina consists of

glycoproteins secreted by the epithelial cells plus some fine collagen fibers.

Characteristics; Supported by Connective Tissues: Epithelial

has reticular lamina and a basement membrane

Characteristics: Regeneration: Epithelial

high regenerative capacity so there is some degree of mitosis present for life. stimulated by loss of apical-basal polarity: some exposed to friction and some exposed to hostile substances. can replace lost cells by cell division as long as it is receiving nutrients

Location of Simple Squamous Epithelium

kidneys glomeruli air sacs of lungs lining of heart, blood vessels and lymphatic vessels; lining of ventral body cavity (serosae).

Location of simple cuboidal epithelium

kidneys tubules, ducts & secretory portions of small glands; ovary surface.

Stratified Columnar Epithelium

limited distribution in the body small amounts in pharynx, male urethra and lining some glandular ducts. occurs at transition areas between 2 other types of epithelia. only apical layer columnar

Location of Transitional Epithelium

lines the ureters, bladder & part of the urethra.

Epithelial Tissues forms

lining of digestive tract organs and other hollow organs

Endothelium

lining of lymphatic vessels, blood vessels and heart

Basal Surface

lower-attached facing the basement membrane

Multicellular Exocrine Glands

made of a duct and a secretory unit usually surrounded by supportive connective tissue supplies blood and nerve fibers extends into and divides glands into lobes

Epithelial membrane

made up of at least 2 primary tissues types; 1. an epithelium bound to underlying connective tissue proper 2. are simple organs

Basement Membrane

makes up the basal lamina and reticular lamina reinforces epithelial sheet resists stretching and tearing define epithelial boundary

Glandular epithelium

makes up the secreting portion of glands such as the thyroid gland, adrenal glands, and sweat glands.

Merocrine

most secrete products by exocytosis as produced

Stratified Squamous Epithelium

most widespread of the stratified epithelia. made up of many layers, thick and has protective role in the body. free surface cells are squamous and cells of deeper layers are cuboidal or columnar. found in areas subjected to wear and tear.

Mucous Membranes

mucosa indicates location, not cell composition also called mucosae -line body cavities open to the exterior (digestive, respiratory, urogenital tracts) may secrete mucus.

Unicellular Exocrine Glands

mucous and goblet cells found in epithelieal linings of the intestinal and respiratory tracts. all produce mucin - complex glycoprotein that dissolves in water when secreted to form mucus (slimy protective, lubricating coating).

Exocrine glands include

mucous, sweat, oilnand salivary glands, the liver (secretes bile), the pancreas (synthesizes digestive enzymes) and etc.

Muscle Tissues composed of

muscles attached to bones muscles of heart muscles of walls of hollow organs (smooth)

Location of simple columnar epithelium

noncilia types lines most of the digestive tract (stomach to rectum), gallbladder, and excretory ducts of some glands. lines small bronchi, uterine tubes, and some regions of the uterus.

Location of Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium

nonciliated type in males sperm carrying ducts and ducts of large glands, ciliated variety lines the trachea, most of the upper respiratory tract.

Special Characteristics of Epithelial Tissue

polarity, specialized contacts, suppported by connective tissues, being avascular but innervated and ability to regenerate.

Functions of Epithelial Tissue

protection, absorption, filtration, excretion, secretion & sensory reception

Tight junctions in epithelial helps keep

proteins in the apical region of the plasma membrane from diffusing into the basal region and helps to maintain epithelial polarity.

Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium

quite rare found in some sweat and mammary glands typically 2 cell layers thick

Transitional Epithelium

resembles both stratified squamous and stratified cuboidal; basal cells cuboidal or columnar shape.

Glands

secrete material endocrine glands are ductless exocrine glands have ducts.

Functions of Pseudostratified columnar epithelium

secrete substances particulary mucus, pushing of mucus by ciliary action.

Exocrine Glands

secretes their products on body surfaces (skin) or into body cavities. more numerous than endocrine glands. multicellular glands secrete products into ducts.

Function of simple cuboidal epithelium

secretion and absportion

Serous Membranes

serosae- found in closed ventral body cavity simple squamous epithelium parietal serosae line internal body cavity walls visceral serosea covers internal organs serous fluid between layers moist membranes pluerae (lungs), pericardium (heart), peritoneum (abdomen).

Which of the following types of epithelial tissues is best suited for areas of the body where diffusion or filtration occurs?

simple squamous

Simple Epithelial Tissue

single layer of cells. typically found where absorption, secretion, and filtration occurs very thin.

Simple cuboidal epithelium

single layer of cubelike cells with large, spherical (circular) central nuclei.

Simple squamous epithelium

single layer of flattened cells with disc-shaped central nuceli and scattered cytoplasm. the simplest of the epithelia.

Pseudostratified columnar epithelium

singler layer of cells of differeing heights. some not reaching the apical surface. nuclei seen at different levels.may contain cilia and mucus bearing cells.

Cutaneous Membranes

skin has keratin stratified squamous epithelium (epidermis) attached to a thick layer of connective tissues (dermis) dry membrane

Function of Transitional Epithelium

stretches readily, permits stored urine to inflate urinary organ

Histology

study of tissues

tall and column shaped nucleus elongated

Locations of stratified squamous epithelium

the no keratin types forms moist lining of the esophagus, mouth and vagina. keratin type forms the epidermis of the skin, a dry membrane.

Cilia

tiny hairlike projections that move substances along their free surface.

What is the function of serous membranes

to reduce friction and organs from rubbing against each other because if that happened, it would produce heat.

Stratified Epithelial Tissues

two or more layers of cells stacked on top of each other. common in areas where protection is important such as skin surface and the lining of the mouth.

Glands are made up of

Epithelial Tissue

An area in the body exposed to the external environment would be composed of which of the following tissue types?

Epithelial tissue

Epithelial tissue is the only tissues type that has polarity, that is, an apical and basal surface? Why is this important?

Epithelial tissues lines body cavities and covers the body's external surface; thus polarity with one free (apical) surface is a requirement.

Which gland type - merocrine or holcrine - would you expect to have the highest rate of cell division? Why?

Holocrine glands have the highest rate of cell division. The secretory cells fragment and are lost in the secretion; thus the secretory cells must be continuously replaced.

Most apical surfaces have

Microvill(e.g. brush border of intestinal lining)

Some epithelia are pseudostratifed. What does this mean?

Pseudostratified epithelia appear to be stratified because their cell's nuclei lie at different distances from the basement membrane. However, all cells rest on the basement membrane.

Stratified epithelia are "built" for protection or to resist abrasion. What are the simple epithelia better at?

SImple epithelia are "built" to provide for an efficient absorption and filtration across their thin epithelial barriers.

Where is transitional epithelium found and what is its importance at those sites?

Transitional epithelium is is found in the urinary bladder and other hollow urinary organs. The ability of this epithelium to thin allows the urinary organs to store a larger urine volume when necessary.

Glandular Epithelia

a gland has one or more cells that makes and secretes an aqueous fluid (secretion)
